HBR Press Webinar: Why Are We Here?

Keep up to date with the latest ideas in business and management, led by HBR editors and authors.

"Jennifer Moss brings clarity to the complex question of purpose at work. This book is essential for leaders committed to building cultures of meaning and engagement." Jon Clifton, CEO, Gallup

The last few years has presented a huge challenge for leaders and somewhere along the line a call was made – perhaps unintentionally – to prioritize growth and productivity over connection. We are now seeing the impact of that choice.

Study after study confirms a widespread sense of employee unhappiness. Indeed, a 2024 report of 12,200 people – from leaders to front-line workers – found that "two in five believe that the world of work is fundamentally broken and one in four wish they didn't have to work at all."

In her new book Why Are We Here? Creating a Work Culture Everyone Wants , workplace expert Jennifer Moss surveys the fault line of our relationship with work. On February 20th she will join us to share the latest research on the subject, and to discuss why work has changed. In the session she will showcase the leaders and organizations who have managed to build cultures that people actually want to be a part of.

We hope you can join us.
